I feel a foreign body in my chest and esophagus


Building bridges to better health.
The cause of feeling foreign body sensation in chest esophagus may involve a variety of diseases, such as reflux esophagitis, achalasia of cardia, esophageal cancer, etc. The following are specific analysis and response methods: 1. Reflux esophagitis Reflux esophagitis is inflammation caused by gastric contents such as gastric acid reflux to esophagus and stimulation of esophageal mucosa. Patients often feel foreign body sensation in the chest and esophagus, accompanied by chest pain, swallowing pain and other symptoms. Proton pump inhibitors should be taken under the doctor's instructions to inhibit gastric acid secretion and reduce reflux. At the same time, drugs to promote gastric motility and digestion can be taken to improve gastric motility. 2, achalasia is due to esophageal sphincter relaxation disorder, resulting in food difficult to enter the stomach through the esophagus, resulting in chest esophageal foreign body sensation, and accompanied by dysphagia, food reflux and other symptoms. Endoscopic balloon dilation, by dilating the esophageal sphincter, improve its relaxation disorder. 3. Esophageal cancer is a malignant tumor of esophageal mucosa epithelium or glands. Patients often feel foreign body sensation in the chest esophagus, accompanied by symptoms such as dysphagia, choking sensation, retrosternal and subxiphoid pain. For patients with early esophageal cancer, surgical resection is the preferred treatment. Depending on the condition, different surgical methods can be selected, such as esophagectomy.
